It’s been a rough few days, but today was my vacation from reality. My girlfriends and I woke up at 5am, met up, drove to the train station, and raced to New York for a taping of “Live With Regis and Kelly”! It was a great day and so much fun. Definitely just what I needed. Of course, tomorrow it is back to reality.

I spent the rest of my day planning for this week. My students are beginning to work on the revisions for their poems and this week I am assigning their multi-genre poetry anthology. Of course, that means making my own model. I’ve spent a lot of time working on it and I hope it inspires my students without inhibiting them. Sometimes it seems like models give them a template to use and they never vary from it. I am going to try and encourage them to be creative and only use my model as just that- a model.

Only four days this week, thankfully. It’s nice to think tomorrow is already Tuesday!

I didn’t know you were so close to NYC! I’m right here and I’ve never taken time to go to a show taping. Silly, really, but I take advantage of so few of the many options around town. Pesky things like work get in my way. I’m still working on finding ways to make more time for myself.
